Bogus interviews are no new thing in Demo-
cratic campaign tactics, but this year they are
being employed so early and often that it is
time to call a halt. The victims so far have
been, besides ex-senator Miller. General John
N. Knapp and Mr.. II. ii. Warner. For time
these lies do harm. but sooner or later they are
sure TO be overtakcn and to react upon their
authors. No doubt this style of campaigning
will be vigorously worked just prior to tho
election, when no opportunity will be left for
dcnials. BY that time, however intelligent
voters will have learned to appreciate it at its
lust valuation.

1t is nothing less than disgraceful that the
racing yachts were annoyed and bindered on
Tuesday by excursion steamers and tugs. Those
that offended ought to be singled out and
named, so that lovers of far play can avoid
them hereafter. There will be less of this
trouble to-day, for fewer spectators will be
out and the vessels bearing them will have
the whole Atlantic, instead OF the pcnt-up
Narrows. to move about in. II this impudent
business is not stopped, however, and made
impossible, British yachtsmen will have good
ground for refusing to send their boats to race
in our waters. Our reputation for good man
ncrs is at stake; and the commander of every
excursion vessel should be made to realize that
the responsibility for maintaining it rests with
him.

A TERRIBLE BULL FIGHT.

A fearful spectacle was witnessed
at OAK on the Adour, France, few
weeks ago. A band of Spanish bull
fighters had introduced powerful
black steer upon which Joselto, the
matador, aimed a blow, but missed,
and he was run down by the brute.
A cry of terror arose. But josef
to was up again and seemed unhurt.
He now succeeded in stabbing the
bull at the chest, but the animal
stood its ground. A second and
third thrust had no better effect, al
though the man succeeded in getting
his weapon to the hiltinto the animal,
from which the blood ran in torrents.
That was to much for the spectators.
They began crying with pain, howl
ing with disgust, and prepared to
finish the cruel Spaniard, Several
times he still succeeded in piercing
the steer with his sword, but could
not stop the animal from constantly
charging against his enemies. Now
glasses and bottles and chairs were
hurled by the spectators upon the
Spaniard, who ran away, handing
his sword to another man, who also
pierced the bull again and again
without finishing him. Several mer
then attacked the beast with swords
and lances, and finally brought i
down. But the spectacle had beer
to much for the auditory. Their
arose a fearful cry of vengence upol
the Spaniards, and the high an'
strong enclosure was being attacked
The Spaniards, however, were fortu
nate enough to make their escap

hold of them.

The Longest Balloon Voyage
on Record.

Prof. John Wise, a world-famed
aeronaut, sailed through the air in
July, 1859, from st. Louis, Mo-, to
Henderson, Jefferson County, N. Y.
= distance in a straight line of
S35 miles. He laid claim to 1850
miles, by reason of the many turns
taken during the trip, which took
his balloon out of a direct course
into circles and curves. This voyage
is the longest recorded in balloon
history.
The balloon was in the air over
night-a period of about twenty
hours. Prof. Wise tried more than
once, but without success, to equal
or exceed the famous trip mention
ed. Finally, few years ago, he
left st. Louis in balloon on long
trip. for the last time. He has never
been heard from. A reporter who
went with him was found dead some
weeks later on the shore Of Lake
Michigan. By reason of this anc
other disasters, the suggestion of {
long air-voyage gives rise in thu
public mind to keen sense OF thu
perils which attend every attempt t.
stay over night.--'St. Nicholas.

THE COUNTRY EDITOR.

There is an idea in the minds of
many who ought to know better
that the country editor stands on
the lowest platform of the, profession,
and that he who is employed in any
capacity, no matter how humble, on
a metropolitan journal is his super
Tor. There is no greater mistake.
An editor who has held important
chairs in metropolitan offices, and
who has the reputation of having
been successful, remarked; II do
not hesitate to write the leaders of
the most important journals, but l
would tremble to undertake the
management of a village newspaper"
There is no place in the profession
so difficult to fill as that of a country
editor. In cities a man who can do
one department well bothers him
self about no other. Nor need he;
he gets the knock of his speciality,
and continues at it. But the country
editor must be good in all depart
ments; he must be well read on all
subjects; he must be able to discern
the trend of the public mind in
politics, religion, and social topics;
he must discuss agricultural and
anarchy with equal precision; he
must be fluent ON polemics and
politics; he must write of the Presi-
dent and pumpkins; he must mind
men of high degree and descend to
things of low estate; in short, he
must be an all-round man." 1t is
this that makes the position of a
country editor so hard to fill. 1t is
this training that makes the good
country editor such a splendid
manager for metropolitan daily.
There is no place, except in a coun-
try Office, where such all-round
training can be had.
The position of a country editor
is not held in the esteem it should
be. Country papers are not respect
ed as they ought to be. If a family
can afford only one paper, let that
be the home paper; for it concerns a
family more to know what is being
done in its own county than it does
to know the news of distant places.
The city paper cannot give, and
does not pretend to give, the local
news that its country readers must
have; but the good country paper
does give a very fair epitome of the
worlds news.
No other publication can supply
the place of a good local paper. If
both cannot be retained-if either
the city journal or country news
paper must go, let it be the former;
for nothing can supply the place of
the local paper.-Printers' Circular.
